On March 1, the media reported that SAIC Volkswagen had completed the reform of the marketing system at the beginning of this year, including the adjustment of the national sales and service center network of the Volkswagen brand, that is, the original 12 marketing regions were reduced to eight, and strengthen the authority of the marketing regional team.

This change is also the second time SAIC-Volkswagen has adjusted its marketing system since March 2022.
As one of the earliest joint venture car companies in China, the industry believes that whether it is the reform of the marketing system or the choice of price reduction, in essence, SAIC-Volkswagen's series of actions may be forced by sales pressure. SAIC-Volkswagen sold more than 2 million vehicles for four consecutive years from 2016 to 2019, including 2.0651 million in 2018 and 2.0018 million in 2019, according to the data.

In addition, the relevant car consumption subsidies issued before April 30 will be given cash subsidies in accordance with the corresponding policy standards.
In addition, on the same day, GAC GROUP announced that consumers would enjoy subsidies provided by manufacturers when they place orders to buy GAC GROUP's GAC MOTOR, Guangzhou Auto Honda and Guangzhou Auto Toyota fuel models from March 15 to 31, and complete the licensing within the agreed time. There is also a chance to get the Yue A blue license free of charge.

Prior to this, Feng Xingya, general manager of GAC GROUP, said that after entering 2023, domestic automobile consumption was slightly weak, subsidies and tax cuts declined in a large area, and consumers' desire for consumption of commodities had not yet recovered, and he also proposed to directly subsidize consumers. and extend the car purchase tax relief policy and other suggestions.
In addition to the preferential subsidies announced by car companies, a piece of news released by Chengdu on March 17 has also become the focus of the auto market. According to the news, from today, the automobile consumption activity of "production and marketing linkage" in Longquanyi District was officially launched, with a total subsidy of 100 million yuan and a cumulative subsidy of up to 150000 for bicycles. This event will become a Huimin car purchase activity with the largest discount range, the largest number of locally built new energy brands and the longest duration in the history of automobile promotion in Chengdu.
According to "Chengdu release", the event will last until June 30, 2023, and the brands participating in the event include pure electricity, hybrid electricity and plug-in. The subsidy method of this activity is divided into two ways: one-time car purchase subsidy and car consumption coupon deduction. The models participating in the event include designated models of FAW-Volkswagen, FAW Toyota, Volvo, Dragon Motor, Dayun Automobile, Lecker, Red Flag and other enterprises. Individual or corporate consumers buy the above models at the car dealers operating in Chengdu and license them within the prescribed time limit, superimposing the preferential subsidies matched by enterprises, and each car will receive an one-time subsidy ranging from 15000 yuan to 150000 yuan.
Recently, domestic car companies are experiencing an unprecedented "price war", and "price reduction tide" has become a key word in the automobile industry. According to incomplete statistics, up to now, at least 30 car brands have participated in the "price war" through subsidies from manufacturers or price cuts by dealers. More than 100 models in the auto market have participated in "preferential subsidies" activities, ranging from a few thousand yuan to more than 100,000 yuan, and some car companies that have announced that they will not reduce prices have also chosen "price preservation" measures to deal with the price war.
With regard to car market subsidies, Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the National passenger car Market Information Association, said: "it is now the high point of the scale of this' price war', and it is unlikely that we will continue to expand the scale of price cuts. It is expected that around April, this round of 'price war' will end." According to the Federation of passengers, retail sales in the passenger car market were 1.39 million in February, up 10.4 percent from the same period last year and 7.5 percent from the previous month. However, due to the overdraft caused by the traditional Spring Festival holiday in January and the policy switch, retail sales totaled only 2.679 million in the first two months of 2023, down 19.8 percent from the same period last year. With the domestic automobile policy and multiple concessions of auto companies in March, it is expected that the sales performance of the auto market in March will be significantly improved.
